Chapters 2781-2790 Bai Zhe’s Inheritance 9

2781 The little dragon is also anxious over losing the treasures, when 3 hours pass. SL wakes from her nap to find the three men furiously digging for themselves, not wanting to share with their groups. 3/4 of the crystals have been mined, but their strengths have been exhausted. SL plans on seizing the crystals when they’re done, and saving her own energy. The Crafty Thorn Captain rejoices at not having to share with LYJ.

2782 The Captain is too immersed in his find to notice SL teleporting behind him. Sensing something, he turns, only for SL to squirt him with the sceptre, allowing the little dragon to bite his neck as the SGT grips his ankle, tossing him around. The little dragon snatches the Captain’s two storage items – one red and one blue – returning to smash his head in when SL reminds him she can’t open them if he’s still alive.

2783 SL and her pets dart away as the crystals in the storage item start pouring out. Delighted at being able to handle the Crafty Thorn Captain, and at gaining 600,000 crystals, SL decides to aim for LXF, when she sees him fighting with the old rhino. Confronting each other, they each demand the other’s crystals, warning them of their respective superiors. Seeing the old rhino charge at him, LXF sneers since he isn’t a match.

2784 LXF avoids the old rhino’s fist as they leap through the air. SL and her pets take the opportunity to dig at the remaining 600,000 crystals, lamenting not having NL to back her. Fearing the 7th elder’s arrival, the SGT removes the remaining crystals from the deposit, cutting them as 10m2 cubes of dirt, allowing SL to place it directly in her space. Putting on her mask, she contemplates getting the remaining 1.2 million crystals.

2785 Since the old rhino is losing and SL would be forced to act if she imitates the mysterious man, she assumed the identity of the 7th elder. Seeing him, the old rhino starts to run as LXF chases him down, demanding his storage items. The old rhino surrenders them, even undoing the contract so LXF can access them without killing him. Taking the storage item, LXF twists the rhino’s neck laughing at gaining all the crystals. Due to their alliance, LXF lets his guard down around the elder, when he’s stabbed with the CSS. The ‘elder’ denies making an agreement with him, before taking the storage items.

2786 SL hadn’t hesitated in removing LXF, knowing he wouldn’t hesitate to kill her, racing away before the 7th elder arrives. The 7th elder rushes to LXF, enquiring about his state. Furious at seeing his attacker, LXF scratches him, with the hidden poison in his nails causing the elder’s cheek to swell. Seeing LXF point towards the elder, CYX and the rest of the squad confront him. The PIF threatens the old rhino with his grandson’s safety, and he confirms LXF’s claim.

2787 The elder rages at being falsely accused, when CXY notices the vein would’ve contained at least 2 million crystals, demanding them from the elder. Hearing this, the elder rushes to chase after the thief, warning CXY he isn’t able to defeat him. Meanwhile, SL studies her map. She now has 3.5 million crystals from the 900,000 she originally had, and the 2.4 million from the large mine, but still needs 1.3 million. Heading south, she travels and digs by herself for 3 days, extracting 1.5 million, when she runs into ZW.

2788 ZW asks if she needs the Black Jade to receive the inheritance, warning her the 7th elder had also found out and is trying to redeem it before her. SL rushes to the front of the old man’s store, as the crowd clamours for her to be thrown out for not waiting in line. Hearing their protests, the old man sends them out instead. Stunned at the old man’s bias, the elder places 5 million crystals in front of him, demanding the Black Jade. SL is shocked he’d waste 5 million crystals just to spite her, slipping a bag of DFT on the counter.

2789 The elder laughs at SL’s action, but is stunned when the bag disappears and the old man tells her it’s only 3 million with her discount. Eyeing SL’s storage item, the elder rages when he realizes its LXF’s, grabbing it before the old man can receive it. SL is indignant, but the old man won’t act until she places 7 tea bags in front of him. A wind sweeps through the elder’s hand, as he drops the storage items in shock.

2790 SL grabs the storage items, as she and the old man remark on the passing wind. The elder is furious but can’t complain about the old man, while LYJ remarks on SL’s privileges. SL responds with a smile, before redeeming the Luminous Night Pearl. The crowd lament not being able to share in SL’s luck, when she offers to redeem their items at 80% of cost.
